To get your hands on the new Rocky Mountain Instinct swing by the shop to day or call to get one on pre-order. We have a feeling this bike is going to go fast. In addition to the Instinct 90 BC edition, Rocky offers standard versions of the Instinct with 140 mm front and …

The 2018 Rocky Mountain Instinct has been one of our favorite bikes this year. It turns out that Bicycling Magazine thinks the same thing, giving the Instinct top honors in a field packed full of 29 inch trail bikes. What got the Instinct the nod? Simply put, it was its versatility: “a bike that you can race XC on Saturday and take to the lift-served park on Sunday.” You can read more about Bicyling’s thoughts on the Instinct here. We keep an Instinct along side of several bikes from Rocky Mountain and Norco as part of our demo fleet. Stop by for a test ride today, we thing you will be similarly impressed.
